Model: Archer AX6000  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.4 Build 20210719

Hello

 

I am using my Ipad with the Tether app.

I have my new AX6000 setup and also RE650 V1 as a Wifi Extender.

 

My AX6000 is on East side of house and I put the RE650 on West side of house.

Sometimes my wife Roku has issue with connection.

 

 

My Question is with the AX6000 Connected to the RE650 setup

 

How to setup the RE650 Extender. without having to login to it.

 

When one West side of house I choose between AX6000 or RE650.

 

I want the RE650 to extend the AX6000 reach. So no choosing just see the AX6000

  @DozierM,

This sounds like you have the Range Extender configured as an Access Point instead of a Range Extender. This creates a separate network that you have to connect to. If you are using an ethernet cable to connect to your router, the Range Extender will automatically be configured as an Access Point.

 

If you are having stability issues, I would try to move the extender to a point halfway between where the signal should end up and the router so that the connections on both sides of the wireless communications will be stable.

RE650 v1 Firmware 1.0.6 Build 20180719 Rel. 36926

 

Quick setup and is  Extender. I have been working with Support on the RE650 v1 and hoping a firmware new build will correct the slow connection.

The issue is slow internet speed when connected to the RE650 v1

 

I have sent Screen shots of the Speedtest .

  @DozierM,

What was the falloff of the Connection Speed for the Range Extender, it is pretty common to see a drop in potential speed of up to 50%, hence why REs are usually a last resort compared to mesh and APs which provide more stable connections to the host router.
